Stabilization of transition states of organic reactions by cyclodextrins, micelles, and dendrimers

Micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) catalyze the basic cleavage of p-nitrophenyl alkanoates, whereas micelles of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) inhibit this reaction. The strength of binding of the esters to both CTAB and SDS shows the same linear dependence and sensitivity to the acyl...
